Mike reports: Messina to Crist

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has so far reserved more than $820,000 of commercial time in the contest. It began airing a TV spot on Tuesday attacking Republican candidate David Jolly over his career as a lobbyist.

Jolly and Democrat Alex Sink, a 2010 gubernatorial candidate and former state chief financial officer, are competing for the seat of the late GOP Rep. Bill Young, who held the St. Petersburg-area 13th Congressional District seat for more than four decades.
